Warbird Information Exchange

Anyone know what WWII Warbirds ( Or CG ) are used in the upcoming movie LITTLE BOY ( Feb 27) ? Sorry, didn't provide link I'm sure there are better "Sniffer-Outers"
In WIX land than me !

Watched the trailer - the term "saccharine" comes to mind...
I spy a few CGI-ish Corsairs:

All right, Mister Dorfmann, start pullin'!
Pilot: "Flap switch works hard in down position."
Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

Thanks Chris ! I Thought that 's what I saw, let's see what else they Drew Up ! I hope these "Birds" don 't lay any BIG Eggs !!!!

Pretty bad CGI Corsairs.

Here's the link to view the movie trailer,

The shot with the Corsairs is at 1:53. The CGI as a whole looks pretty lame in this movie. I think this movie is going to be a dud.

Expected more Manhattan Project, from the title!

Not a Warbird movie, so poor CGI doesn't matter to me.

Thanks Jerry,Maxum 96,& Richard, Looks like a Thumbs Down already & your right Richard, it would've been a better movie about the Manhattan project..just think near future...movie work where FiFi & Doc pair up !! Fingers X !

And are they being "chased" by a Hughes 300 helo?

This looks like it could be a typical war movie/Baa Baa Black sheep shot with a guy falling from the tower right before it explodes and falls over in a plume of orange and black pyro.....

The split second that shows the Dad in combat gear made me wince as well. In that moment I could easily tell he was wearing a postwar helmet.
If they can't get such a simple thing right for a key character, I have no hope for the rest of the film...

I agree with Richard - not really a war bird movie so it is no biggie.

AND to second a few others, there should be a better Manhatten Project movie made - I happen to know an airfield that would be perfect for the film http://www.wendoverairbase.com

Have you seen Paul Newman's Fat Man and Little Boy?

Plenty of B-29s and sermonizing.

I figure if you wanted my opinion on items unrelated to this forum, you'd ask for it.

JohnB - IMHO Fat man and Little Boy is one of the reasons a GOOD movie needs to be made. I think I would focus more on the 393rd bombardment squadron and the training and deployment they did rather than try and retell the whole story.
